详情介绍:
- Age since the last update (or last editorial review)
- Search traffic trend from Google Search Console: clicks in the last 28 days vs the 28 before
- Outdated mentions: old years, "this year", "recently", prices in headings – each one quoted in context, with a per-post ignore list
- Length compared with the typical post of the same type
- Internal links pointing in (orphan detection via a full link index)
- Structure: H2 headings, images, featured image
- Meta description (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, or the excerpt)
- Broken outbound links (light HEAD checks, cached, throttled per host)
- Duplicate titles, H1s and near-duplicate slugs
- Audit table: server-side pagination, sort and filter by type, category, author, band, status, assignee, traffic trend or modified date; save views per user; export the current view as CSV
- Post drawer: full score breakdown, outdated phrases in context, who links here, notes, status (needs update, in progress, reviewed, merge, delete), assignee, "mark reviewed" which resets the age clock
- Refresh next: a top-N list of non-fresh posts ranked by staleness × the search clicks at stake (clicks in the previous 28 days), or × inbound links when Search Console is not connected, on the dashboard and in a widget
- Weekly digest email with band counts, trend and the refresh list
- AI refresh brief (optional, off by default): a Markdown brief saved as a note. On WordPress 7.0 and later it can use the AI provider you connect under Settings → Connectors, through WordPress's built-in AI Client, so there is no separate key to manage; on any version you can instead bring your own OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini key. None of your content is sent until you confirm the token estimate.
- Custom tables; the only post meta written is your per-post list of ignored phrases, automatic pruning
- Audits run in Action Scheduler batches that adapt to your server's time limit and resume where they left off
- Re-scores a post when you save it; drops it when unpublished
- Search Console via a service-account JSON key (stored encrypted); nightly sync
- WP-CLI:
wp stalemender audit run|status|cancel,wp stalemender gsc sync|status,wp stalemender export --file=,wp stalemender score <id> --explain

常见问题:
Does it need Google Search Console?
No. Without it the traffic signal is skipped and the refresh list ranks by staleness × internal links. With it you also get click trends and "decaying" flags.
How do I connect Search Console?
Create a service account in Google Cloud with the Search Console API enabled, download its JSON key, paste it under Settings → Search Console, then add the service-account email as a user on your property in Search Console. Pick the property and enable the nightly sync.
Will the audit slow down my site?
No. Posts are scored in background batches (default 50, halved automatically if a batch runs out of time) and outbound links are checked with cached HEAD requests, at most 20 per post and 100 per batch.
Does it work with page builders?
Elementor, Bricks, Beaver Builder and Oxygen data is read from post meta, Divi shortcodes from post content, so word counts and links are not zero on builder pages.
Is anything sent to an AI provider?
None of your content is sent until you click "Generate brief" on a post and confirm the token estimate, and only if you have enabled AI assist and either connected a provider under Settings → Connectors (WordPress 7.0 and later) or added your own key. With WordPress AI, clicking "AI refresh brief" can make WordPress ask the connected provider which models it offers; that request carries the API key but none of your content. Usage is logged locally.
Does the AI refresh brief use the WordPress AI Client?
Yes, on WordPress 7.0 and later. Choose "WordPress AI (Settings → Connectors)" under Stalemender → Settings → AI assist (it is the default for new installs there), and requests go through WordPress's built-in AI Client to the provider you connected, with the key WordPress keeps. On older WordPress versions, or if you prefer, you can enter your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint instead.
Does the plugin send anything to its author?
No. Stalemender has no server of its own, sends no usage statistics or telemetry, and contacts no address that is not listed under "External services" above. Every one of those is off until you turn it on.
Does the bundled Action Scheduler conflict with other plugins?
No. Stalemender loads Action Scheduler 3.9.3 from lib/action-scheduler/. Action Scheduler is built for this: each copy registers its version with ActionScheduler_Versions behind function_exists() and class_exists() guards, and only the newest copy on the site boots. WooCommerce and other plugins that bundle it share the same mechanism.
Where is the JavaScript source?
The admin app ships un-minified in assets/src/; the files in assets/build/ are produced from them with npm install && npm run build (the package.json is included). The bundled Action Scheduler library in lib/ is unmodified upstream code under its own GPL licence. Nothing else is compiled or obfuscated.
Who can see the audit?
Users who can edit others' posts (filterable with stalemender_capability). Settings need manage_options.
